VOL 25

The next PechaKucha Honolulu will be themed, Façade. What is your spin on the word?

PechaKucha 20x20 is a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images.

Speakers (in presenting order)

Jamie Jackson - Many Facades of a LifetimeJamie's portfolio of work spans from professional acting, through fashion design and teaching to interior design and the question she is always asked....."how do you have so many different careers?" I always maintain they are at core the same, creating, only the facade changes.

Skye the Soul Poet - Skye's Façade *Faces in many Places*Skye The Soul Poet, a Hawaii Spoken Word Artist & Rare Disease Hawaii Founder expresses a Bluesy, soulful, down-home style that's not too wild, just a laid back feel that makes you smile :) Skye’s been motivating others with her musical spoken word in cities such as Seattle’s Festival Sundata, Mampalooza in NY since 2010, Bowery Poetry Café’s, San Fran, & The West End Poetry Fest in NC & a few Austin’s Int’l Poetry Festivals.

Doug Ing - Doug Ing likes to make thingsDoug Ing likes to make things, whether it is a Vine video, a short documentary, a cartoon or an artwork, he enjoys the act of creating. Often times, a random thought occurs during his daytime activities and that will find itself in an artwork. He finds inspiration from random phrases, Facebook, conversations and dreaming.

Katherine Love - Fashionable FaçadesKatherine Love’s presentation for Façade will focus on her two most recent bodies of work Romantic Landscapes and Mutations, which feature elaborate hairstyles from the late 18th and early 19th centuries, often juxtaposed against the backdrop of a romanticized landscape.

Kaoru Lovett & Ronald Ribao - Architectural Building Skins: Functional ImpressionAn exploration of Architectural façade’s; a building’s skin. The purpose of an architectural skin is two-fold; functional and psychological. These projects analyze modalities of passive design, architectural attitude, and climate adaptation as parts of the many capacities of the architectural skin.

Hazel Go - SALT: a behind the facade look at an architecture project in progressA catalytic component of the Kamehameha Schools' master plan in Kaka'ako, SALT is a retail center that embraces community and culture through the adaptive re-use of existing warehouse spaces and the design of spaces between the buildings. As an architect working on the project from the initial concepting of the design through its current state into construction, Hazel Go will share the design process behind SALT's facades.

Cade Roster - you can't spell "facade" without...Cade Roster was born in Honolulu Hawaii. After high school, he went study at the School of the Art institute of Chicago. There he majored in printmaking and animation. Since then he has gone on to work as a camera technician, advertising illustrator, art gallery owner, art teacher, and 3D animator. His favorite job is artist. Cade now splits his time between being a freelance artist and full time dad.

Reem Bassous - Beyond the FacadeRooted in her own memories of the Lebanese Civil War, Reem investigates the haunting images of her youth in Beirut while the city was predominated by war and political uncertainty. Reem's work offers visions of how it felt growing up in a war zone, a subject many might deem dejected.

Kirsten Simonsen - Pleasure ParksThe circus, the carnival, the festival, and the roadside attraction are all always façades.My current body of work is in part inspired by various alternative, temporary communities I was a part of in Europe and North America in the last years leading up to the dawn of the 21st century.

Sam Guerrero - That time I tried to make work that unpacked the Facade of MasculinitySam Guerrero sorts through the multiple layers of insecurities that exist within the multi-dimensional structure of his identity for inspiration. (In other words, he thinks way too much about why he is awkward instead of how he could try and be less awkward. ) His work utilizes the familiar language found within America’s visual culture – injected with enough peculiarity to question the validity of its content. (Meaning he watched way too much tv as a kid and never stopped.)
